MAGAZINE SHAVING BRUSH Filed Sept. 10. 1931 I'll-v I Patented Feb. 20, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Application September 10, 1931 Serial No. 562,109

1 Claim.

This invention relates to magazine or fountain brushes and particularly to shaving brushes of the mentioned type.

One of the objects of the invention is the provision of a magazine shaving brush adapted to allow for the expansion of a collapsible tube which occurs when the latter is compressed to extrude shaving cream therefrom.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a magazine shaving brush which is simple in construction, durable and efiicient in use and economical to manufacture.

Other objects will be appreciated from a reading of the following specification.

The invention will be fully and comprehensively understood from a consideration of the following detailed description when read in connection with the accompanying drawing which form part of the application, with the understanding, however, that the improvement is capable of extended application and is not confined to the exact showing of the drawing nor to the precise construction described and, therefore, such changes and modifications may be made therefrom as do not affect the spirit of the inven-- tion nor exceed the scope thereof as expressed in the appended claim.

In the drawing:

Fig. 1 is mostly a vertical section through a mag- 80 azine shaving brush of my invention and showing in elevation a collapsible tube contained therein.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the shaving brush shown in Fig. 1 and also containing a collapsible tube.

Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows; and

Fig. 4 is a vertical section of a soap chamber or nozzle employed in the magazine shaving brush.

Referring to the drawing for a more detailed description thereof, the numeral 5 indicates a body of bristles which constitutes the brush proper, said body of bristles being set in a brush 45 base 6, which is screw-threaded to a holder 7,

comprising a bottom portion 8 from which extend strips 9 and an upper portion 10 secured to or integral with the mentioned strips. The mentioned holder also comprises a cap 12, screwthreaded to the upper portion 10. Said cap is provided with a recess 15 to accommodate an end of a collapsible tube 16 containing shaving cream. The brush base 6 is provided with an aperture 17, in which is seated a nozzle 18, the delivery end of the collapsible tube also being seated in the mentioned aperture and contacting with an end 18a of the nozzle, said end 18a of the nozzle having an aperture 18b through which extends the central screw-threaded portion 16a of the delivery end of the tube so that cream extruded from the tube enters the chamber 180 of the mentioned nozzle, from which it passes through a duct 18d in the neck portion 18a of said nozzle and then into a spherical chamber 18f within a bulbous or spherical delivery end 18g of the nozzle, the cream passing from said bulbous or spherical and through apertures 18h into the body of bristles 5. The nozzle 18 is preferably made of a flexible material, such as rubber, for example. By reason of this construction, the discharge from the collapsible tube, in discharging into the nozso zle, can distend the latter, so that the discharge openings in the bulbous end will thereby be distended and any clogging due to previously accumulated soap drying dislodged. If the discharge nozzle possessed no elasticity, there would be likelihood of the discharge apertures becoming clogged by the soap drying during periods of disuse. The capacity of the nozzle to expand, however, permits ready dislodgment of such stoppages.

What is claimed as new is:

In a magazine brush, the combination of a collapsible tube having an exteriorly threaded delivery end and an inclined shoulder around the end, a flexible rubber nozzle fitted on the shoulder and around and in contact with the threads of the delivery end, said nozzle being formed of a material of the character of rubber and having a bulbous terminal discharge portion formed with discharge apertures.
